The idea is undeniably intriguing: Oregon Coach Chip Kelly in the NFL, bringing his up-tempo offense to the highest level.
Sure, it could be a flop of Steve Spurrier-like proportions, a star college coach watching his Saturday system fizzle in such a spectacular way on Sundays. But it could work too, seeing as most NFL teams have some version of a read-option offense in their playbooks. We've seen San Francisco run it with Colin Kaepernick, Seattle run it with Russell Wilson and Washington run it with Robert Griffin III.
So the rumors swirling that several teams are eyeing Kelly aren't that crazy at all. There has been lingering speculation that Kelly could replace Andy Reid in Philadelphia, for instance.
Kelly can evolve and adapt. He has done that successfully with the Ducks. Not every running back has to be a 5-foot-8, 195-pound water bug like LaMichael James. The burly Jonathan Stewart had a stellar career at Oregon and was a first-round pick.
But before any team made the leap to hire Kelly, any clear-headed general manager would have to get some important answers. Among the pertinent questions:
How do you protect the quarterback? The quarterback is much more exposed in Kelly's type of system, particularly when he's carrying the ball. Lots of big hits. We've already seen Griffin go down with a concussion this season. (Yes, we've seen lots of traditional drop-back quarterbacks sustain concussions too. But Kelly's quarterback is going to take more hits.)
How are you going to work with these players? It typically takes at least a couple of years for a coach to overhaul a roster. That means Kelly would need to work with a team's current players, at least in the short term. If he's hired, the real test of genius is how he transforms a 330-pound offensive lineman into a marathoner who can stay on the field for 100 offensive snaps a game. That's some serious conditioning, and we're not talking about a 100-man college roster.
Can your defense handle the workload? Say the offense takes a year or two to get rolling, and maybe leads the league in three-and-outs in the interim. That's entirely possible. That defense is going to be on the field a lot. It would get old fast for a defense if it's skulking back on the field after its offensive counterpart had three quick snaps and a punt.
How do you deal with NFL defensive fronts? Oregon's offensive linemen spread out a bit more, and those wide splits don't hurt the Ducks. Can't do that in the pros, though. NFL defensive linemen are quicker penetrators and extremely disciplined. If they have more room to blow up plays in the backfield, they will.
You do know there are no Tennessee Techs on the schedule, right? A college team might play 13 games, and a lot of those are blowouts that allow for second- and third-stringers to play after halftime. There aren't a lot of those games in the pros, and in the NFL you have a minimum of 20 games, counting those in the preseason, with 45 players. That's roughly 21 players on offense, 21 on defense, and three special-teamers (a long snapper, punter and kicker). If Kelly were to bring his fastbreaking style to the pros — and let's face it, that's a lot of the appeal — he could be filling out his roster with a lot of street free agents by the end of the season.
Upon further … oh, never mind
It was the biggest head-scratcher of the Thanksgiving Day games, a non-call that almost certainly cost the Detroit Lions a victory.
The play in question was an 81-yard touchdown run by Houston's Justin Forsett in the third quarter, a score that counted even though replays showed that two Lions had tackled him and he should have been ruled down.
The problem was, Detroit Coach Jim Schwartz threw his challenge flag. That's unsportsmanlike conduct, because all scoring plays are automatically challenged. What's more, because Schwartz threw the flag before replay officials had a chance to initiate their review, it also wiped out the review process entirely.
The result: Touchdown, Houston. No questions asked.
For further explanation, I turned to Mike Pereira, the former NFL supervisor of officials who's now the officiating analyst for Fox.
First, why the unsportsmanlike call? The NFL is worried about coaches using the challenge flag to manipulate the clock. So there's no throwing the challenge flag if a team is out of challenges or timeouts, or if it's inside of two minutes before the half or end of the game, or if the play is automatically reviewed — which this season includes all scoring plays and turnovers.
But the critical part of Thursday's play was that Schwartz negated any review. How did that happen?
Pereira said the seeds of that rule were sown a couple years ago in a game involving the New York Giants.
It used to be that a coach could ask for a review up until the next legal snap. The Giants were on offense and had a questionable play go in their favor. They rushed up to the line of scrimmage to snap the ball, and a defensive player — looking to buy his team more time to contemplate a challenge — kicked the ball. That was a delay-of-game penalty but bought his team time.

Akeelah and the Bee is a 2006 American drama film written and directed by Doug Atchison. It tells the story of Akeelah Anderson (Keke Palmer), an 11-year-old girl who participates in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, her mother (Angela Bassett), schoolmates, and also her coach, Dr. Joshua Larabee (Laurence Fishburne). It also explores issues of education in an African-American community of low socioeconomic status.
The film was developed over a period of 10 years by Doug Atchison, the germ of the idea having started after his watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee of 1994 and combined with his experiences spent tutoring disadvantaged students in the area around the University of Southern California, where he attended film school. After four years of trying to secure funding for the film, the documentary film Spellbound came out in 2002 and perhaps, according to one producer, Sid Ganis, facilitated funding. Spellbound features a black girl, Ashley White, from Washington, D.C., in rough parallel to the independent idea developed in Akeelah and the Bee. This film, together with the 2005 Bee Season, also touched off a brief national interest in spelling bees—2006 Scripps National Spelling Bee was broadcast live on television.
The film has been heavily promoted by Starbucks as a result of a partnership between Lions Gate Entertainment, 2929 Entertainment, and Starbucks Entertainment. It became the first DVD offered for sale at Starbucks.[2]
Akeelah Anderson (Keke Palmer) attends Crenshaw Middle School, a predominantly black school in South Los Angeles. Akeelah is a bright 11-year-old who never makes errors on her spelling tests and doesn't really seem to fit in. She lives with her widowed mother, Tanya (Angela Bassett), her three siblings Kiana, Devon, and Terrence (Erica Hubbard, Lee Thompson Young, and Julito McCullum), and her infant niece. Her principal, Mr. Welch and her teacher, Mrs. Cross, recommend her to sign up for the Crenshaw Schoolwide Spelling Bee, which she wins easily. After that, Dr. Joshua Larabee (Laurence Fishburne), a visiting English professor and Mr. Welch's college friend, tests her with some difficult words and finds that she has the potential to reach the National Spelling Bee, even though she misspells "pulchritude".
When Akeelah asks Dr. Larabee to coach her, he rejects her for being rude. Instead, she studies on her own for the district spelling bee. During the bee, during the final round, she misspells "synecdoche". Her sister Kiana catches the final contestant cheating, when trying to spell "carmagnole" because his mom helps him spell with a "g". He admits it and the judge disqualifies him. This allows Akeelah to get a second chance to take the tenth and final qualifying spot for the regional/state bee by spelling "pastiche". She also meets and befriends Javier Mendez (J.R. Villarreal), a 12-year-old Mexican-American boy and fellow speller. Javier invites her to join the spelling club at his Woodland Hills middle school.
In Woodland Hills, Akeelah meets Dylan Chu (Sean Michael Afable), a Chinese American boy who had won second place at the past two national spelling bees. He is contemptuous of her — as well as the other members of the spelling club — and asks her to spell "xanthosis"*. When she starts with a "z", he tells her she needs a coach. At the conclusion of the spelling club meeting, Javier invites Akeelah to his birthday party. Dylan plays Scrabble with Akeelah and several other guests. Akeelah almost beats Dylan, but loses by just two points. She later overhears Dylan's father (Tzi Ma) reprimanding him for nearly losing to "a little black girl" and insisting he must win first place.
Meanwhile, Tanya, still depressed at her husband's death and concerned for her daughter's grades and frequent truancy, forbids Akeelah from participating in the state bee. Akeelah responds by forging her father's signature on the consent form. She memorizes all the winning words from past spelling bees and works with Dr. Larabee, learning not only words but life lessons as well. During the state bee, Tanya interrupts her daughter before she can spell. After an intense discussion with Dr. Larabee and Mr. Welch at the regional bee, Tanya relents.
In the meantime, Javier has fought an inspired delaying action to prevent Akeelah's disqualification; he walks very slowly to the microphone, and asks for his word, "ratatouille", to be repeated five times, defined and used in a sentence several times and used in a song. Dylan finishes first, Javier second, and Akeelah third; they all advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
As Christmas approaches, Akeelah goes out to buy Dr. Larabee a present, not knowing that he plans to give up coaching her because she reminds him too much of his deceased daughter Denise. Instead, he gives Akeelah 5,000 flashcards to study. Without her coach, Akeelah loses her motivation. She is rejected by her best friend, Georgia, and feels the pressure from her neighborhood to do them proud. But after her mom tells her that if she looked around her, she had "50,000 coaches", Akeelah recruits her family members, classmates, teacher, friends, and her neighbor Derrick T (Eddie Steeples), and prepares in earnest.
After reuniting with Dr. Larabee, Akeelah goes to Washington, D.C. with her mother, oldest brother, best friend, principal, and Dr. Larabee, unaware that her coach has paid for four of their tickets. Akeelah and Georgia rekindle their friendship after she invites Georgia to accompany her to Washington D.C. At the competition, her performance is solid and steady, much of it thanks to her "jump rope" strategy from Dr. Larabee. With only a few stumbles, she is smiled on as a crowd favorite. Javier and Dylan also compete; Javier is eliminated on "Merovingian" and begins rooting for Akeelah. The other finalists, Mary Calveretti and Rajeeve Subramonian misspell "mithridatism" and "vitrophyre," respectively. Finally, it is down to Dylan and Akeelah, and the two finalists are allowed a brief break before continuing with the 25 championship words. During the break, Akeelah overhears Dylan's father warning him that if he gets second place this year, his last chance at becoming middle-school champion, he will be second place for life.
Akeelah attempts to throw the competition by deliberately misspelling "xanthosis" by spelling it with a "z" instead of an "x." Dylan, knowing that Akeelah deliberately misspelled the word, intentionally misspells it as well. While the judging board discusses this unlikely occurrence, Dylan tells Akeelah that he only wants to win fair and square, scoffing his father's do-or-die attitude. They both go word for word up to number 24. Dylan correctly spells "logorrhea", earning him at least a share of first place, much to his father's delight, and Akeelah spells "pulchritude" correctly to become co-champion. As she does so, a brief montage shows of all the film's main characters (Akeelah, her family, Dr. Larabee, Georgia, Javier, Mr. Welch, and Derrick T), each contributing a letter to the word. Akeelah and Dylan both win while Tanya and Dr. Larabee come up to congratulate Akeelah. Akeelah and Dylan both hold up the trophy.

Critical reception[edit]
The film received generally positive reviews from most critics, earning an 83% "fresh" rating based on 131 reviews at Rotten Tomatoes and a 72/100 rating on Metacritic. Its critical consensus states: "Although predictable in every way, a winning performance from its young star Keke Palmer and the rest of the cast makes it difficult not to cheer for the little heroine of Akeelah and the Bee. Sort of like Rocky for the middle school nerd set, Akeelah is a warm, family-friendly underdog story, featuring terrific supporting performances from Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett."[3]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it a full four stars, writing, "In our winning-obsessed culture, it is inspiring to see a young woman like Akeelah Anderson instinctively understand, with empathy and generosity, that doing the right thing involves more than winning. That's what makes the film particularly valuable for young audiences. I don't care if they leave the theater wanting to spell better, but if they have learned from Akeelah, they will want to live better."[4]

The situation:
I have a wooden exterior door which has four hinged panels. It open at the junction of the middle two panes, and the door opens like a bifold on both sides (exactly like a bifold closet door, but heavier and designed for an exterior door). I am planning on replacing it with a sliding door. The problem is that the rough opening after I tear out the door will be 95 inches (stud to stud). It may have more space, but i can't see except to confirm the 95.
On either side of the door (or at least on the side that I have managed to open up so far) there are three studs sistered together supporting the header. I assume that this wall is structural, but the only thing above it is a roof (the house in one story in this area).
The problem:
The door I want to put in (not yet ordered ) requires a 96 1/8 rough opening.
Possible solutions
- I would like to add a stud to the left side of the three studs sistered together on the left side of the door (facing from the inside), and then remove the stud the furthest to the right. I would do this on both sides (but add farthest to the right and remove farthest to the left on the right side of the door). This will increase the opening size to 99 inches. I would then have to add in a stud on either side of the door 1.25 inches wide to get the opening down to the proper 96.5.
- Purchase a custom sized door two inches smaller (this doubles the cost of the door and is not as energy efficient)
- Put in a smaller door and close up the wall (the wife wants the light from the larger door so this is suboptimal)
- Put in a smaller door and close up the wall with floor to ceiling non-operable windows (this would be more complicated in getting everything sized out correctly, but would be doable)
I would like to go with solution 1. Will this solution work? Will I be weakening the structural integrity of the house above the new door? Are one of the other options just plain better? If so why? Is there a better solution I haven't thought of?
Thanks in advance for the help.

XPS is rated for ground contact, but must be covered with an interior-side thermal-barrier such as half-inch wallboard or plywood to meet fire codes.
The other issue will be ground moisture. Burying a a sheet of 6-mil poly in the dirt under the gravel works (it must be protected from puncture to STAY working. Sloping it away from the foundation is also a good idea, should it ever get bulk-incursions of water. If you don't put in ground vapor retarders when you seal & insulate the walls, in Westchester the mold & mildew season in that space would be 8-9 months out of the year!
To do it at least half-right would involve a poly vapor retarder under a rat-slab (non-structural thin concrete slab that keeps varmints from burrowing in to the now-cozy & dry shed-room), with at least 2" of XPS on the exterior behind the lattice with at least 1/2" ply on the interior through-screwed to the structural members. Use duct-mastic to seal the vapor retarder to the XPS before putting up the plywood,and at where it meets the exterior if the house. Air-seal with spray foam or cobble'n'cut XPS foam-sealed at the edges & seams any of the gaps at the top of the wall to block thermal bypasses of air through the joists, and use a reasonably weatherstripped door or hatch as access. Rat slabs don't take a lot of concrete- an inch or stwo will do, and it'll protect the ground vapor retarder from puncture. For small rooms this is an afternoon of hand-mixing the concrete in a wheelbarrow, slopping it in there, and floating it roughly level. If it's over a hundred square feet do the math, and after you've already placed & sealed the XPS & ground vapor retarder order up the necessary cubic yardage for a 2" slab and have it delivered.

With all the excitement of the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS I haven't had much use for my trusty old Game Boy Advance. Despite the fact that it houses some of the best portable games of all time it just sits there on my counter collecting dust. But now that I have Juka and the Monophonic Menace I have finally have a reason to wipe the dust off and sit down with my Game Boy Advance.
These days Juka is kind of an anomaly when it comes to GBA titles. Now that there are more powerful portable game systems on the market it seems like the only GBA games to hit the market are either sequels to popular franchises or games made around licensed properties. Juka is neither; it's a fresh new adventure game that actually manages to offer a few fun game play innovations while telling an interesting story. This may not be embraced by every type of gamer, but I have a hunch that the younger set will eat this game up thanks to its cute characters, easy puzzles and engaging action.
As the title implies, you play as Juka, a young Alchemist in training who must use his powers to save the world. What are his powers? Well, he appears to be proficient at concocting a bunch of different potions that will take out enemies, alter the environments and solve a lot of puzzles. As the game player you actually have to use the right ingredients to make these potions. As you progress through the game you gather the various ingredients from all around the world, such as shaking trees, diving in the water and so on so forth. If you have enough ingredients you will pull out your backpack and dial in the quantity and push a big red button. If you do it right a potion will be added to your inventory, do it wrong and you get to start all over. Thankfully you won't have to remember how to perform all of the potion instructions; you have a notebook that you can pull out at any time to refresh your memory.
Creating potions isn't the only thing Juka has going for him, he also has this cool weapon called the Sound Staff. This staff allows gives you the power to literally absorb sound waves, which comes in handy when battling all of the enemies/machines scattered around the world of
Obla. At first Juka isn't excited about going around and saving the day … but he has the Sound Staff, who else is going to do it?
Obla is a world that just got out of a giant battle between
good Alchemists and Dark Alchemists. As the game starts Juka learns that a lot of his fellow townsmen and women have gone missing. To make matters worse, soldiers are starting to patrol the surrounding areas and they don't take kind to people getting in their way. Concerned that something sinister is at play, Juka decides to head out and get to the bottom of this mystery. Soon enough he uncovers an evil plot by one of the only remaining Dark Alchemists and must use his potions and Sound Staff to restore order to Obla.
When you see a game like Juka and the Monophonic Menace it's easy to be reminded of The Legend of Zelda series, but Orbital has done an excellent job of keeping this game fresh and original. Although the look and art style is somewhat similar, the actual game play and story couldn't be further from Nintendo's classic franchise. Certainly Juka takes a few cues from past adventure games, but for the most part I found that this Game Boy Advance game was different enough to not make it feel like I had been there dozens of times already.
On top of that, the story in Juka is extremely important. At least, that's what they seem to suggest with all of the cut-scenes full of dialog. Every few minutes something important will happen that will trigger a scene where two (or more) people talk for a few minutes. This tends to keep the story moving along at a brisk pace. While we're not dealing with the world's most exciting storyline, the plot is interesting enough to keep your attention from beginning to end. Some may get turned off by the non-stop dialog, but Juka does a good job of keeping you engaged with the plot.
Speaking of non-stop dialog, you perhaps it's time to introduce you to the game's single most annoying character: Bufo. Bufo is a talking frog that will contact you whenever he feels like it via a wireless radio. The problem is that Bufo needs to find a new friend, because he is contacting you all the time. There are moments in the game where it feels like he talks just because he likes to listen to his own voice (not that there's any voice acting in the game). He'll just go on and on and on about completely pointless subjects that could have been summed up with a lot fewer words. This would be fine if you could skip his non-stop chatter, but you can't, and you will quickly grow to despise Bufo and his boring comments.

If the government expects me to pay my share of the bills, it better run the finances the way I do, or expect to have the debt repudiated. I didn´t get the money, so the government can get it from those that did.

Poor Ann from Littleton. One should never ask Mr.Limbaugh rhetorical questions nor take a breath when speaking to Hannity or O´Reilly. She was not able to make her point, which seemed to be why we have not had a budget for three years. It would expose how "one-on", "emergency" spending has been included in the "baseline" annual budget.I don´t think these tyrants are going to leave peacefully. Up the Revolution!

Demon golfers compete at Lincoln Park
The Duncan boys golfers competed at a tournament at Lincoln Park Golf Course in Oklahoma City Thursday.
Individual scores were Blake Graham with 76 and 79, Logan Harris with 76 and 75, Tyler Albin with 77 and 78, Christian Dructor with 78 and 86, and Carson Hogstad with 80 and 83.
Track teams head to Norman
The Duncan track athletes travel to Norman today for a meet at the University of Oklahoma.
Duncan boys coach Todd Ledford said that the Demons will be one of just three Class 5A teams attending. The rest of the teams are 6A.
Demon baseball beats Plainview in extra innings
The Duncan baseball team had to go extra innings and then hold off a late rally to win at Plainview 3-2 Thursday.
The game was tied 1-1 after seven innings. The Demons broke the tie with two runs in the top of the eighth, but Plainview battled back to make it 3-2 in its half of the inning.
More home tourney action awaits Demons
Another weekend of home matches await the Duncan tennis teams.
The BancFirst Tournament will be at the Duncan High School tennis courts, with the girls playing Friday and the boys Saturday. The tourneys come one week after Duncan hosted the Southern Oklahoma Invitational.
Bulldog pitching staff builds confidence
Heading towards the postseason, Empire is closing in on the possibility of winning record thanks in large part to its improvements on defense.
The Bulldogs (10-11) have cut down the errors from 10 or more a game to two or three a game. Coach Stefan Hunt said that's led to the pitchers seeing some better results on the mound. Though, the pitchers have improved their game as well.
Demons in close district race
The Duncan baseball team is in a close race to finish in the top four in District 2-5A and earn a trip to regionals.
Duncan is 7-3 in district and in third place. First-place Carl Albert has lost just one district game. The Titans split with second-place Chickasha, which also split with Duncan.
Gayanich to play for Panhandle State
Velma-Alma senior Jaz Gayanich signed Wednesday to play basketball for Oklahoma Panhandle State University in Goodwell.
Gayanich said Panhandle coach Jerry Olsen was upfront about his program and ideas, compared to other coaches Gayanich visited. Gayanich already knows what role he's expected to play.
Those who knew John Humphrey respected him
Duncan resident Rod Battles got to know John Humphrey pretty well.
Battles first played Duncan High School baseball for Humphrey in 1965. He later returned to DHS, when Humphrey hired him as an assistant, and later head baseball coach. After both men retired, they became fishing buddies. Humphrey joined Battles and others for annual trips to Lake Texhoma.
Comets stay calm under pressure
Lately, Velma-Alma baseball has made a habit of having some exciting finishes.
In its home tournament, the Jake Leffler Wooden Bat Tournament, last weekend, it won four of five games. All of those victories came by less than five runs and two of them were by only one run.
Course challenges Lady Demons
The Duncan girls golf team took sixth at the longest course it has played this year.
KickingBird Golf Course is 5,300 yards. Add the windy conditions at the tournament hosted by Edmond Santa Fe and it made for a challenging day.

HARRISONBURG, Va., April 3, 2013 – The James Madison track & field team will split to opposite sides of Virginia this weekend as part of the squad travels to Lynchburg for the Liberty Collegiate Invitational while others head to Williamsburg for the Colonial Relays.
JMU multi-event athletes, field athletes and mid-distance runners are headed to the Liberty Collegiate Invitational to face competitiors from 16 other schools. Competition gets underway on Friday, April 5 with the heptathlon at 1:15 p.m. and restarts on Saturday, April 6 at 9:30 a.m. with both field and track events. JMU sprinters are trekking to the Colonial Relays to race against athletes from 36 collegiate teams. Events begin Friday at 9 a.m. and run through 10 p.m. before resuming at 9 a.m. Saturday morning.
The Dukes look to continue notching qualifying marks for postseason competition. For the Eastern College Athletic Conference outdoor championships, Dukes are qualified for nine events, including the four they added last weekend.
Among those who became eligible for the ECACs March 29-30 are seniors Katie Gorman (Lafayette Hill, Pa./Plymouth-Whitemarsh) and Katie Harman (Clarksville, Md./River Hill). Gorman finished the 10,000-meter run in 35:20.76, more than two minutes faster than the ECAC-qualifying mark of 37:40.24, and Harman completed the 5,000-meter run in a personal-best 16:29.28, surpassing the qualifying time of 17:16.64. The times also put both Dukes in the mix for bids to the NCAA East Regional in May as Gorman's time is the 20th-best so far this spring in the 10,000-meter run, and Harman's time is the 25th-best so far in the 5,000-meter run.
Two JMU relay teams also posted qualifying marks for the ECAC outdoor championships their last time on the track. For the 4x100-meter relay, junior Lauren Privette (Round Hill, Va./Loudoun Valley), freshman Destiny Simmons (Staunton, Va./Robert E. Lee), junior Ashley Williams (Shillington, Pa./Governor Mifflin) and junior Ciarra Morris (Richmond, Va./Meadowbrook) tallied a time of 47.61 seconds. Morris was also a member of the 4x400-meter relay qualifying team that clocked in at 3:51.51, joined by senior Maria McDonald (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin East), sophomore Destiny Simmons (Staunton, Va./Robert E. Lee) and sophomore Jasmine Waddell (Mount Royal, N.J./Kingsway Regional).

Copyrightfrom Love Poems (Flamingo (HarperCollins), 1990), copyright © Brian Patten 1990, used by permission of the author.
Full track listing for the special recording made for the Poetry Archive
Brian Patten (b. 1946) has written many books of poetry for adults and children, as well as prose and drama for stage and radio. He is the youngest of the Liverpool poets who, in the 1960s, along with Adrian Henri and Roger McGough, revitalised the idea of poetry as a performance art as well as something written for the page. Their joint collection, The Mersey Sound, was published by Penguin in 1967 and became a bestseller over several decades. All three poets were given the Freedom of the City of Liverpool in 2001. Patten is also an Honorary Fellow of Liverpool John Moore's University, and has received awards including an Eric Gregory Award, an Arts Council award, and a Cholmondeley Award.
His poetry for both adults and children is represented on this reading; he introduces this idea by saying that "I thought I would begin with children's poems, and then slowly grow up as the reading progresses." A Patten poem, however, rarely falls clearly into either category, which shows both that his adult poetry has a clarity that opens it to a younger reader, and that his children's poems carry depths that will speak to adult readers. As he says of 'A Small Dragon', "Sometimes poems that were never intended for children get adopted by them" - and the mournful excuses of 'Mr Ifonly' will strike a chord with almost anyone.
One theme that informs almost all the work is a devotion to the full experience of life and the imagination. 'Geography Lesson' will fill you with an urge to "leave / and sail across a warm blue sea", while 'A Blade of Grass' mourns the adult loss of the ability to find the beauty in a blade of grass. In his adult poems, this includes a devotion to love in all its stages - a theme for which Patten is rightly well-known, which makes the title of one of his best-known books, Love Poems, completely apposite. Yet there is much variety within this, both in terms of his skilful use of fixed and free poetic forms and in his material itself, which includes touching elegies, to Stevie Smith and Patten's mother, retold fables and a tribute to Roald Dahl, another writer who could write for all ages.
Patten, like the other Mersey Sound poets, is a very experienced performer, able to pitch the performance of each poem precisely. Funny, thoughtful, uplifting or mournful, each poem in this recording demonstrates The Times' description of his "magic ability to turn radiant imagination loose".
His recording was made for The Poetry Archive on 4 August 2005 at The Audio Workshop, London, UK and was produced by Richard Carrington.

C.F. Martin & Co., a product of the Lehigh Valley, is known for making sweet music around the globe.
Guitarist and Martin & Co. manager Ed Golden knows that quite well. He travels to guitar galleries worldwide on business for the Upper Nazareth Township-based manufacturer, but travels to few stops locally.
Tired of hearing locals saying they had to drive to Philadelphia or New York for instruments, Golden decided to open Golden Guitar Gallery at 101 S. Main St., Nazareth.
Golden designed the 1,600-square-foot gallery to mirror the guitar galleries he visited.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
A one-stop store for guitarists, Golden Guitar carries acoustic and electric guitars by manufacturers like Martin, Gibson and others, including some local custom instruments.
The climate-controlled shop sells guitars with price tags ranging from hundreds for simple guitars to thousands for rare pieces, including some guitars dating to the early and mid-1900s.
There's also a Martin prototype guitar that Golden created years ago.
The shop also carries amplifiers and other supplies, in addition to photos of famous guitarists by photojournalist Thomas Monaster.
Golden Guitar, decorated with wood-toned details and comfortable furniture, also houses a workshop for repairs and restorations. Golden, a longtime Martin employee who has held positions in everything from design to sales and quality control, also teaches a two-month-long workshop on how to make an acoustic or electric guitar.

The area around Lehigh Valley International Airport features many large buildings that are ideal for everything from distribution centers to sports-focused retailers that need a lot of brick and mortar.
One example is Lehigh Valley Laser Tag, which opened in 2010 at the former Dillon Floral Corp. warehouse on Marcon Boulevard in Hanover Township, Lehigh County.
Well, there's more sport on the horizon. Entrepreneur Donald Deck is aiming to open a paintball arena on City Line Road in Bethlehem.
There's no opening date to report yet, but I'll update when details emerge.
The Valley has added several sports entertainment venues in recent years. That includes Pig Pen Sports Bar, which opened years ago and is similar to popular chain Dave & Buster's with its bowling alley and arcade.
Pig Pen is only blocks away from The Grid Code, an airsoft and Nerf arena on Union Boulevard. The Grid Code also operates a 6-acre outdoor venue at the Apple Blossom Village in Upper Mount Bethel Township.
There's more coming for the games crowd, too. The former Regal Cinema on Route 378 in Lower Saucon Township is being transformed into a Dave & Buster's-like entertainment venue.
Franklin Entertainment of Egg Harbor Township, N.J., submitted plans to the township earlier this year to renovate the 39,000-square-foot space to include 24 bowling lanes, an arcade, restaurant and bar.
There's also much to come at the strip center at 1044 Trexlertown Road, Breinigsville.
The strip, next to Mazzola's II Italian restaurant, is already home to The Barber Shop, Lehigh Valley Vacuum and Shamrock Custom luxury gift shop.
Joining them will be a Polish nail salon, Gold Miner Precious Metals, an Active Learning Center day care, and a therapeutic massage spa, according to Dick Adams of Dick Adams Realtors, the firm involved in the deal.
There will now be just one vacancy in the center, he added.
Popular Lehigh Valley camera peddler Dan's Camera City opened its second location on Route 248 in Lower Nazareth Township.
The space, bookended by Saladworks and Spice India, mirrors the products and services offered at Dan's space on Fairmont Street in South Whitehall Township.
Originally focused on used-camera sales, the business has continually evolved and today specializes in many aspects of photography, imaging and training.
Co-owner Mike Woodland has said they chose the Lower Nazareth area because of its population growth.
Speaking of Lower Nazareth, LongHorn Steakhouse will open within months near Buffalo Wild Wings in the Lower Nazareth Commons shopping center off Route 248.
The 6,270-square-foot restaurant will seat more than 240 and will open in late summer, according to LongHorn spokeswoman Erica Jaeger.
This will be the second LongHorn in the region.
LongHorn opened its inaugural restaurant in 2010 at the former Ground Round space on Grape Street in Whitehall Township.
LongHorn is part of the Darden restaurant group, Atlanta-based owner of names like Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Bahama Breeze. The Easton area already has an Olive Garden and several readers have said the area could use a Red Lobster.
Note to Darden: Easton-area residents are growing tired of trekking down congested Route 22 for the Valley's only Red Lobster in Whitehall.
Darden is known for clustering its restaurants within a short distance of each other to save resources and trim costs. It's a strategy that gives hope for more restaurants to come.
Speaking of Red Lobster: Darden is growing the seafood restaurant as a two-for-one deal.
The conglomerate is trying an Olive Garden-Red Lobster restaurant concept to grow revenue and move into markets that would not have previously been economically viable, according to Bloomberg News.
The chain has three such restaurants, according to the news service.
Could this be coming to the Easton area? Many would like that, I'm sure.
Frozen yogurt shop Menchie's opened at The Shops at Cedar Point on Hamilton Boulevard in South Whitehall Township.
This is the first Lehigh Valley location for the Florida-based chain, which is also expecting another franchise to open in the Taylor Court strip center on Linden Street in Bethlehem.
Menchie's joins a sea of other frozen yogurt chains that are including the Valley in nationwide expansion plans.
Another chain in growth mode, at least locally, is Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.
The chicken-and-biscuits peddler opened at the former Tai Show Japanese Restaurant space on Route 309 in Quakertown. The Atlanta-based chain returned to the Lehigh Valley years ago with two restaurants in Allentown.
Retail Watch keeps track of new store, restaurant and bank development in the Lehigh Valley. Have a question about a retail construction project, a store opening or a chain you'd like to see come to the area? Call business reporter Tyrone Richardson at 610-820-6779, or email email@example.com. Retail Watch appears every Sunday.

fit4life "The dream must be bigger than the pain"
Hello ayummymommy,
I'm so glad you are committing to the Body-For-Life program! You will more than transfer your body. Thank you for your kind words. Please remember, no matter who you are, how much you weigh, or what you do, you have the power to tranform.
I'm 5'2" tall and will be hitting the big "40" in January!
Here is a typical day of meals:
(Multivitamin, calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin C)
5 egg whites with flaxseed
Plain Oatmeal
Water with Pro Science Reload (cherry)
Spinach salad with asparagus and olive oil
1/2 sweet potato plain
Myoplex light shake
Steamed chicken
1/2 cup brown rice
Water with Pro Science Reload
Natural peanut butter
Polaner jelly with no sugar extra fiber
Low salt Rice cake
Thank you fit4life!! Your photo's have inspired me throughout the last 12 weeks. I love the picture of you holding your daughter. You are totally ripped! (smile) I worked so hard and really appreciate your kindness.
Thank you so much lorig277! I asked your height etc because I was pretty sure we were relatively the same height and I was right. You give me hope. I have about 10 lbs-15lbs (my ideal) (7%-9% bodyfat) to lose so your transformation is kind of what I can achieve. I am a touch shorter but otherwise very similar. I am starting at a heavier weight than you but not by too much.
You have done an amazing job and thank so much for providing that meal plan...SOOOO helpful to see what others have done/do and what has worked for them.
ayummymommy, Your transformation will be outstanding! In the end, the weight was dropping off so fast I was eating extra calories so I didn't lose to much. You don't have alot to lose. Remember to push hard every day and leave the gym feeling like you gave it 100%. I am excited for you and looking forward to seeing your results. Go for it!!
Thank you and I am hoping it starts to "fall off" soon too. Did you have stalling points? When did you really begin to see changes? What did you find the most difficult about the process?
Lori you look absolutely amazing! I know you must be so so so proud!!! Your makeup looks perfect by the way ;) As does everything else. You rocked it!
Susan Berna
2010 Body-for-LIFE Grand Master Champion
Another question: Did you take your free day/free meal? what were your indulgences?
Also, did you workout in a fasted state for cardio? Or did you have a regular protein carb meal before?
Did you wait to eat after?
BFLSue, You were an inspiration to me along my journey! Thank you for your kind words!! I had MAC do my makeup btw and was very happy.
ayummymommy, Most of my changes happened during the 9th week. To keep myself motivated I would read the transformational essays, use visualization techniques and read inspirational poetry. I had my ups and downs but tried to stay focused and would constantly surround myself with positive thoughts, and inspiring people. I would strongly suggest that you watch" The Body Of Work" by Bill Phillips (I watched it every day) It's on Utube. Fantastic!
As far as indulging goes by the 5th week I no longer wanted to eat sweets or salty food. I would have a chocolate chip granola bar now and then and a Big Mac here and there. I no longer wanted the junk food. I would suggest that you eat your free/meal but as time goes on it won't seem important any longer.

Allison McClain joined the University of Houston as Assistant Director of Athletics Communications in February 2012. In this role, McClain serves as the primary contact for Houston Soccer and Baseball. She previously worked the 2012 season with Houston Volleyball.
McClain comes to Houston after acting as the Sports Information Director at her alma mater Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana.
At Centenary, McClain handled communication efforts for all 16-intercollegiate sports for 2.5 years as well as supervised a small staff of student assistants.
McClain graduated from Centenary in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication with an emphasis on Professional Writing. While at Centenary, McClain was a four-year letterwinner on the Ladies softball team, earning All Mid-Con honors as a utility player.
Prior to rejoining the Centenary athletic department, McClain spent the 2009 summer working as a Media Relations intern with the Houston Astros Baseball Club. With the Astros, she served as an editorial assistant for the Astros Magazine, assisted with game-day press box duties, compiled daily clips, worked with TV stats, and recapped games for the Astros Minor League affiliates.
McClain is a native of Diboll, Texas. Her younger brother, Wesley, is a senior on the Houston Golf team.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- City leaders on Monday could approve a change in city code requiring people to put their garbage cans further back from the curb.
Part of the reason stems from a deadly accident last May, when a Myers Park High School student died after swerving to avoid three garbage cans placed on Sharon Lane.
Police say 14-year-old Andrew Wright swerved to avoid the garbage cans which were blocking the sidewalk, but his right handlebar hit one of them, he lost control, fell into the road and was struck by a food delivery truck.
The current city ordinance says garbage cans, often referred to as rollouts, must be two-feet from the curb.
The proposed changes include having rollouts within six feet of the curb. It would also prevent rollouts from being in the roadway, and asks people to use reasonable care and caution so they don't block sidewalks.
"I think it's easy to happen and I can see how he hit the handle of his bicycle on the bin and lost control. I'm surprised other things like that haven't happened," said neighbor Dawn Jeffries. One of her kids was Wright's classmate.
Jeffries says she has watched neighbors avoid garbage cans several times.
"Into the street or on the grass," she said.
In January, the city started a public awareness safety campaign about keeping sidewalks clear.
In February, the Environmental Committee approved recommended changes to the code.
"I think it might be a bit inconvenient for some people, but if it keeps somebody safe, then it's worth it," Jeffries said.
One thing up for discussion Monday night is how to enforce it and do it fairly, since people's yards, elevations and sidewalks are different.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A university analysis finds that Nevada's casinos have taken on more debt than ever before, shifting the finances of the state's largest industry into unprecedented territory.
The study released by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Center for Gaming Research says that total liabilities for the state's casinos have grown 18 fold since 1984 to $51.2 billion during the fiscal year that ended in June 2011. Casino revenues for fiscal 2011 are less than five times larger than what they were in 1984.
Director Dave Schwartz says the analysis shows that the investment and growth seen in the mid-2000s in Las Vegas was different from growth seen in the mid-1990s.
Schwartz says that since 2008, casinos have owed more in long-term debt than they collectively earn in revenue each year.

Grant Program Addresses Three Critical Areas of Blood Cancer Research
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) today is pleased to announce the fourteen researchers who will receive funding through the Quest for Cures program - a new grant program that addresses three critical areas of blood cancer research.
The three priority areas are: monitoring tumor cell heterogeneity and its contribution to response or resistance to therapy; molecular mechanisms to identify and direct subsets of patients with B-cell malignancies to the right therapy; and the role of tumor microenvironment in initiation and maintenance of blood cancers.
"The Quest for Cures research topics enable LLS to continue to drive a progressive research agenda to improve outcomes for patients who urgently need therapies," said Lee Greenberger, Ph.D., LLS chief scientific officer. "Most importantly, this research will, hopefully, lead to an understanding as to why current treatment methods are not successful and identify new treatments regimens."
Quest for Cures is enabled by funding from Celgene through LLS's new "Targets, Leads and Candidates Program." This program identifies and funds priority research areas, with support from biotechnology and pharmaceutical partners.
The amounts of the grants awarded to these innovative researchers will range from $200,000 to $400,000, annually for two years. The awardees are:
Priority area #1: Monitoring tumor cell heterogeneity
Priority area #2: New molecular stratification mechanisms
Priority area #3: Tumor microenvironment in blood cancers
LLS will be announcing a new round of Quest for Cures requests for proposals in February. The RFPs will cover new topics which will be detailed in advertisements in the February and March issues of the journal Blood. Please visit this link to learn more about the program.
